From the reviews
We booked 5 wedding dance classes in preparation for our first dance at our wedding, and we are SO glad that we did! Wow, such a fun experience and our first dance ended up being one of our favorite moments from the wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about this studio. The owners, the teachers, the level of dance, and the community are top notch. We have been there for 10 years and it keeps getting better and better. If you have a child who shows any interest in dance, no matter how old, go check it out.
Tremendous school with amazing teachers. Ms. Kendal is my daughters instructor, she is so kind and patient with the children. Just a great school with good vibes.

Adult ballet at Dance Place
Dance Place runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance Place
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
